Actually, this has been an issue for many years.  Finally, in March 2012, I 
sent an email to DX Summit
thanking them for their very useful website and inquiring why was it set up 
this way?  I received a response from 
Saso with no explanation provided, and, even stranger, was his response was 
that 1.81 – 28.3 MHZ was covered in HF.  
He hinted that it might be corrected but would take some time to code it.

In my reply I inquired as to why 1.80 – 1.81 Mhz. was not covered in HF and why 
28.3 – 30.0 Mhz was not covered in HF? 
I also asked him again to please address these obvious omissions and have them 
fixed.

In the almost two years since my last email, there was no response from him or 
anyone else at DX Summit. 
And nothing was ever changed.  That was most disappointing!

I hope that DX Summit will address it and change it now.

Happy holidays to all!

I just looked. 10m SSB spots show up if you select any of the purely "number" 
filters, such as 25 (extreme top left), or 250, 1000, 10000 (below the word 
SEARCH).But 10m SSB spots do not show up for any other filter with "HF" 
included in the filter name.YES, definitely an oddity...and good find on your 
part. The OH's are probably busy helping Santa.:-)   <snip>

Hi,

For years now I have been noticing that DX Summit does not show 10 meter SSB 
spots with DX spots
or the HF spots or the VHF spots or even HF/Phone spots.  10 M SSB spots seem 
to be in  “No Mans land”.   
In order to see any 10M SSB spots you need to click on 28 MHZ.  This has never 
made any sense to me.

I have emailed them directly and have never gotten a clear answer from them as 
to why this is
or why they don’t fix it.

Does anyone know?

Tnx & 73
